Because many different kinds of events can occur (viruses, malware, bots,
and so on), there are many different kinds of links. Furthermore, these

Figure 1-8:
This early drawing from 1977 shows the ARPANET, the
precursor to the Internet.
Note
Chapter 9 shows a few examples of graphs representing many links
simultaneously.
Figure 1-9
shows a sketch of a graph visualization we constructed that used
an interface to show only links over particular time periods. By isolating
time periods, the viewer could identify event sequences, potential related
